Couverture souple. Zustand: Bon. Edition originale. Paris, impr. E. Pigelet, (1899) ; 1 vol. gr. in-8 (26.5 x 17.5 cm), 116 pp., 3 planches h.t., broché, couverture présentant quelques petites déchirures marginales avec parfois petits manques, bon état. Tirage à part très rare de ce mémoire remarquable qui fut publié en deux parties dans les Archives Générales de Médecine (mars et mai 1899), ce qui explique la numérotation des 3 planches (numérotées III, IV et VI). Félix Gerlier (1840-1914), médecin à Ferney (commune où séjourna Voltaire), fut le premier à observer, dans le bassin du lac de Genève, à proximité de la frontière franco-suisse, une épidémie particulière comportant des parésies transitoires (ptosis, parésie de la nuque, des membres inférieurs?), troubles visuels (abaissement de l'acuité visuelle?) avec état d'équilibre instable, douleurs spinales? et atteignant essentiellement des cultivateurs et des ouvriers agricoles. Cette description que Gerlier désigna sous le nom de vertige paralysant fut jugée remarquable par son exactitude et son caractère complet, et le corps médical l'a rapidement désignée sous le nom de "maladie de Gerlier". Des médecins japonais observèrent une affection similaire qu'ils surnommèrent Kubisigari. Gerlier a donné une première description de l'affection en 1886 mais ce mémoire, basé sur 14 années d'observations, est de loin le plus complet et le plus précis. En 1926, sur la base de plusieurs observations, Verger a émis l'hypothèse que la maladie de Gerlier n'était qu'une forme endémique et liée à certaines conditions étiologiques particulières de l'encéphalite léthargique. /// PROBABLY PRE-1916 ENCEPHALITIS LETHARGICA OUTBREAKS./// REFERENCES : Pryse-Phillips W: Companion to Clinical Neurology, p. 410: "Gerlier disease (kubisagari, paralytic vertigo)"; Jablonski S: Eponymic syndromes and diseases, p. 119 (citant l'article paru en 1887) : "Gérlier's disease (endemic paralytic vertigo)"; Foley PB : Encephalitis lethargica, pp. 747, 792: "In earlier reports of a 'vestibular' or 'labyrinthine form' of EL [encephalitis lethargica], vertigo or nystagmus dominated the clinical picture, but other EL-relevant symptoms had generally also been evident; further, vestibular symptoms were a not infrequent feature of chronic EL. Although it was clear that similar symptoms might be elicited by any encephalitic process affecting the brainstem, such cases naturally led to comparison with Gerlier disease, and the Bordeaux school had actually proposed that both it and the Japanese kubisagari were probably pre-1916 EL outbreaks."; Roch M: De la maladie de Gerlier à ''encéphalite épidémique. Presse Méd., 1932, 40, 323-324; Dr. Félix Gerlier (1840-1914), Nature, 1940, 146, 295-296: "Dr. Félix Gerlier, a distinguished Swiss physician, was born at Ferney-Voltaire in 1840, the son of a local practitioner. He qualified in Paris in 1866 with a thesis on death from cardiac concretions in diphtheria, and then set up in practice in his native town, where he remained until his death on September 6, 1914, except when he served as a medical officer in the French army during the Franco-Prussian War. He was for several years mayor of Ferney, where the high esteem in which he was held led to his being created a knight of the Legion of Honour. Gerlier is best known for his classical description of epidemic paralysing vertigo, to which his name has been given. His first account of the disease was given in 1886 before the Medical Society of Geneva, of which he was a corresponding member, and was published the next year in the Revue médicale de la Suisse Romande, his subsequent papers on this subject appearing in this journal in 1888 and 1891 and in the Archives générates de médecine in 1899."; Howard RS & Lees AJ: Encephalitis lethargica, Brain, 1987, 110, 19-33; Donaldson I, Marsden CD & Schneider S: Marsden's Book of Movement Disorders, p. 539.
